russ78 Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 (edited) It appears the new chief of Toyota Akio Toyoda definatley wants to take Toyota in the right direction as 2 new prototypes I would personally love to see in production from the Tokyo auto salon 2013. possibly a new era of affordable Toyota sports cars first up is the much awaited twincharged GT86 which has been designed to pay homage to the legendary Supra... designed in conjunction with gazoo racing its turbocharged and supercharged will deliver 330hp http://www.autoguide.com/auto-news/2013/01/toyota-supra-inspired-gt86-revealed-with-twincharged-engine-2013-tokyo-auto-salon.html Also the GT86 Open (Convertible) coming very soon gone as far as an advert I reckon this one is in the baghttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8qDJigtViZA next up is the Toyota Yaris Turbo which has potential similar to a glanza imo its been a while since Toyota knocked out a good turbo hatchback, this is no exception 1.5 Turbocharged also designed in conjuction with gazoo racing comes with a LSD as standard pushing 150hp http://www.autoguide.com/auto-news/2013/01/toyota-yaris-turbo-concept-revealed-2013-tokyo-auto-salon.html Edited December 12, 2013 by russ78 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AdamB Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 The GT86 looks promising, although people have already been slapping turbo's on them from day 1, interesting to see that they are relating to the Supra, I thought they were bringing out a new Supra? Love the look of that Yaris, would be interesting to see what kinda suspension setup it has though, hopefully be something vastly improved over the starlet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
russ78 Posted December 12, 2013 Author Share Posted December 12, 2013 (edited) that's true there is a new supra expected to debut at the Detroit motor show 2014. The prototype is supposed to be very close to production model as well Edited December 12, 2013 by russ78 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AdamB Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 I wonder if they will sell them over here or if they'll just be a JDM thing, would certainly be interested in buying the Vitz/Yaris. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
